Don`t be thirsty LG....make sure you drink that water at lunchtime on your walk......



Walk was lovely, but a little breezy....planning to pop back out after lunch as I want to go looking for some new kitchen knives as well as fresh produce for next few days. I do have some places I prefer to shop in for veg and salad, farm stores or markets when they are on are so much better than grocery store produce over here.

I did love Publix in Florida for quality items.......

Almost lunchtime, still waiting on the groceries, should be within the next hour then we can head out once we`ve been fed.

Tummy is rumbling now....ate breakfast so early......

Good Morning Mss, nice room picked out.

Still oh so sunny. Nope, won’t be thirsty Schumi. Enjoying my tea this morning, and put water bottle in the refrigerator to be just the right cold to take when I go for my walk. Yay for food delivery. Yep, we go to Publix when on vacation. It’s not a grocery store found near me. I also go to the Target or Walmart as both are close to the resorts too. Ack, I also had an early breakfast. Lunchtime is hours away for me. Luckily, Schumi should have eaten her lunch, as afternoon for her.

I thought it was a goofy thread with a lot of inside jokes...I didn't read it all tho. Is it only for long time DIS members?

I must be missing the joke as to why the laughing icon for previous post??



Anyway, what a carry on to buy knives.

First, we had to go get someone to show us the type we wanted, they weren`t on display. The ones that were on display were all locked off.....fair enough I understand that with thefts and under age purchases.

Someone when we had chosen the knives we wanted, the staff member made a comment of who needs that many knives and they were a ridiculous price to pay for knives.....I think the glare showed my disapproval.......then, escorted us to the pay point and left the knives behind the desk while we lined up to pay......then they let us go.

I replace my knives regularly and often use this place, but not anymore. Will wait till we get the survey and explain.

Meanwhile, it`s glorious outside, all my laundry is dry and time for a coffee I think.

Sorry, my mistake. I was scanning posts on different forums and don't even know what I did to post the icon.

Cute puppy Lori……..I’m sure it’ll be snapped up……there’s a special place in hell for folks who could do that to a puppy.

Sounds like a lovely day you have planned ahead…….I’m glad you’re getting to spend as much time with DD before she moves…….

Enjoy golf if weather holds out…….yes, are forecasts ever accurate?



Sitting in garden enjoying the sunshine, it is beautiful, and much warmer than the forecast predicted….definitely shorts and tees now. It was so sulk and dank this morning walking, but would be too hot now……..

Non alcoholic strawberry lemonade has been made up in the blender……Jimmy Buffet would be so disappointed!

Rain came earlier than expected, no golf. Another day! North of us got over 7 inches of rain. DH says we should probably make a trip to the lake house today. Want to check if the basement is dry.

Aww…what a cutie. I hope she finds a home soon

I agree.

Super bored at work today. Thankfully I have less than an hour left.

I hope so too!

Making a quick stop in!!!

Been busy working, and trying to do some planning for dh's birthday. Secured a little venue and now just organizing some other things for ideas I have. Guess we will see how this all pans out. Anxiously waiting for the 21 to hear about travel restrictions and the boarder opening. Not that we would drive anyways...flying has always been open...but have to do lots of testing on both sides of the boarder. So we will see what announcements they make.

Enjoying out warm weather. Rain is finally in the forecast here for the weekend. As much as I hate to see rain happen on a weekend, we desperately need it. It's as " dry as a popcorn fart" here. So it might be a weekend in the house. I know I will find something to keep myself busy.

Well...I should get this package out...as well as my passport. It was needing to be renewed...so I am sending out and crossing my fingers it doesn't take too long to process.

Have a great day Hommie!!!!!

Fingers crossed for you, pumpkin!!

Hehe, like that saying for dry conditions, Pumpkin. Yay, for arranging DH’s birthday celebration. I hope the borders do open soon. So many like to travel by driving back and forth across the borders.

Charade, hope your last work hour went fast. I did not sleep well last night, so took a short nap as soon as I signed off, and then little one came home to wake me up.

Even though little one gets lunch included with her work day, she rarely likes what they serve. Ends up with a salad most of the time. As such, she is usually starving when she gets home. I had ordered Chinese right before she came home. So she dropped her back pack, and off we were to pick up dinner. Was tasty, and definitely have some leftover, so will be fine to zap for lunch tomorrow. Or snack on later, as was an early dinner.

Think we are, so far, not a rain looser, so glad to see a sunny sundown. Still a long day of bright. Sun still does not set until 3 more hours.

Well, hope Pumpkin’s area is thirsty enough, they get some rain. For the rest of the homies, many of us are happy forecast does not include rain. For those going to have a dry day, get ready to be thirsty. Ah yes, after this wonderful Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday is tomorrow. Stay thirsty my friends. And have a quite lovely evening.

We had Chinese take out recently. Always a winner in this house too!

Pumpkin.....good luck with the border announcement.....I think you should fare better than us when it comes to a good result....fingers crossed for you! And nice to hear your plans are starting to fall into place with the party arrangements.





Sun is shining albeit with a little cloud this morning, but as the day goes on, it`ll just get nicer and nicer....and next 3 days has to be very hot...for us of course, so I think we`ll make sure we have plenty of fresh produce in, and spend the time in the garden a lot. Will walk early enough before it gets too hot, but may miss out the weekend.

We`re already starting to see those sensor lights outside come on just a little earlier at night now......by mid August we`ll see a real change in the light as the nights finally get longer with some darkness.

Started watching a new show last night, but the American trying to do an English accent was dreadful, so couldn`t watch it longer than 10 minutes. So, watched a show about Marilyn Monroe that I`d never seen before, always interesting, and what a beautiful woman she was.

Food will all grilled outside next few days apart from take out on Saturday night, but have to take advantage of this glorious weather. Have a grocery delivery coming at lunchtime today and will go out for fresh produce after our walk this morning, should do us till Sunday.

Time to quench that thirst.....no one wants to be thirsty!!

Have a wonderful Thursday
​

Days and days of grilled food....the best!!!
And farm fresh produce is always top quality!

Hope your walk was nice Schumi. I hear ya on some hot days coming.

Here, our Thursday is another heat advisory issued day. Hazy and hot was the descriptions from the weather lady this morning. Yeah, and humid was the other. While most of the day will be more overcast, a most glorious looking sunshine start an hour ago. So enjoy seeing that bright and light early morning this first hour of daylight. And once again not leaving the 70’s degrees in the overnight. A most pleasant time of the day, it’s 73 out right now. Eh, but no early morning walk for me. But I will have suntan lotion on when I walk at lunchtime. Even if the clouds are around, at that time, will be around 90 degrees. Ah yes, and a water bottle will be in my hand too. Thirsty I will be with our hazy, hot and humid mid July Thirty Thursday.

So homies, with lights not needed now, thanks to Summer for many of us, have a drink or more, as it’s a Thirsty Thursday. And have a totally terrific Thursday, and a good morning.

.

Our high temp for today will only go to 73. Looks to be cloudy all day, no sunglasses here today.

Before you use your sunscreen, I saw a recall of certain J&J sunscreens this morning. Beach Defense and certain Aveeno ones were affected.

Don`t be thirsty LG....make sure you drink that water at lunchtime on your walk......

I LOVE Publix!!!!!!!! None in my area sadly....

I started posting here recently. Feel free to join on in! Everyone is very welcoming!!








And so a dreary Thirsty Thursday for me. Will have cloud cover today and tomorrow, with a much nicer forecast for Sat and Sun. We are hopeful to get on the boat this weekend! It's amazing how fast the weekends of summer slip past.....


This will be DDs outfit 5 days a week for the next 4 years! Silly pose, but she said she's gonna be a cool dentist, lol!
We bought 5 sets to get her started, and will purchase more as needed. She says not to buy her anything Navy colored going forward... And yes, white shoes are required as well.




A few errands for the day. Grabbing some groceries and making sides to go with chicken for tonight. May plan for tomorrow too, why not?

A thrilling thirsty Thursday to all!!!

Think we posted at the same time, Carole!
Sorry the store made your shopping unpleasant. You'd think stores would be giving customers A+ treatment to bounce back after such a tough 2020. Too bad for them, they just lost future business!

How did you hear that wine opening all the way from over there Lori.......lol.......

Yes, think we did.....great minds think alike.......yes, customer service is usually excellent from them, but comments of how much items cost with a sarcastic tone is never appreciated. One will shop elsewhere from now on.

Your daughter looks lovely.....and in work clothes too.......she will do brilliantly in her chosen career, she has such a lovely nature.

Hope the lake house isn`t flooded in any way. Even over here we had some serious flooding slightly South of us and in London.......shame you never got golfing, but I`m sure you`ll manage it soon.

I think there has been a vote for Chinese on Saturday night too....or Thai.....we`ll decide then, but can`t go wrong with Chinese takeout.

Usually a day to day planner here too, but when the weather is going to be so nice, planning a bbq every day doesn`t take much planning.......and agree, farm store fresh is the best. I could never be one of these people who plan a week`s meals ahead of time.

 

[Lynne G]

Ack, Schumi, odd customer service. Would not go back there either. I too replace my knives after so many years. Yep, heard that wine open over here too. LoL. Quite lovely to enjoy a glass after that shopping experience, and dinner time for you.

Yes, Paris, did see that recall. Will be calling to get a refund. Scary. But at least the lotion bottles we have, are not in the recall. Nice to see your DD, perfect picture of her work outfit. Yay for her new job.

Ah yes, still not time for lunch quite yet. Sigh. Though still some tea in the teapot, so yay, more tea for me. And not complaining, as nice and cool inside. AC has been on and off since early this morning.

 

[schumigirl]

Nope, not having wine just yet, it`s red and we opened it to breathe and drink it later.




Lori, the email I sent you has been returned and shows as unread?? It just appeared back about 10 minutes ago, but it showed as sent when I wrote it.

I hate email when it plays up......

Had to nip back out for sour cream, I like it mixed in with the potato salad I make, makes it a little lighter than all mayo. Grocery delivery and three market gardens/farmstores and I still forget something.

Last place we went to had homemade ginger beer.....having one now and it`s delicious. Will buy that again.

 

[Lynne G]

Mss, all of us were new to Mac’s SANS thread at one time or the other. Some stuck around more frequently and some have become friends, some pop in every once in awhile, and some never heard from again. This thread has been around for years now. Just a place to chat about well, something about nothing.

Yay, that much more closely to my lunchtime walk. And yes, Paris, will be rocking those sunglasses for ya. Your weather is definitely cooler.

And ooh, maybe I smell some grilling food too now. LoL

You cooking on the grill LG?

Far too early for us....maybe another couple of hours to go till dinner......are you off work today Lynne?



I need to move out of the sunshine.....move me I`m hot!! DH is in the shade inside the gazebo........may move and join him.

[Lynne G]

Nope, Schumi, working and just got back from my lunchtime walk. Oh, dinner time here is around 5 and 6 pm. Guess I forgot our time difference, blame it on fact it was not yet lunchtime, and was starving. LoL

But now enjoying some leftover Chinese food for lunch. Yay! Hmm, not sure what for dinner tonight. Maybe pasta again. Think some red sauce is leftover, and thought I did see a pasta box in the pantry. Little one will most likely agree to that meal.

Well, routine for a few more hours, with some video training and a phone conference in there too.

Hey, I see a DisneyLife post. Hope all is well with you and family. If you happen to be around at end of September, give a holler. Would be nice to say hello again.

Hunger can make us forgetful...well, it does me!

Lunch here for us is around 12.30/1pm and dinner, we usually eat around 6.30ish, unless it`s takeout and we usually eat later in that case.

But, my mum loves eating dinner at 5 on the button. Unless she is being taken out for dinner as it`s a little early for some. But, then she`s happy to do so.

Enjoy the rest of your day anyway.





Dinner is sizzling away right now.......all sides and salads are on the table, so we`ll be eating soon. It`s still so gorgeous outside now.

I think we`ve finished all the ginger beer we bought today, first one for ages it had the strongest ginger flavour. Very refreshing.

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh ginger beer. Sounds good as you enjoy the ginger flavor, Schumi. yay, dinner almost ready.

We tend to eat dinner early on week days, as little one tends to be looking for dinner when she gets home around 5pm. And fine with me, as breakfast is so early, and I mostly not eat that much for lunch.

Ooh so sunny out. May take another stroll later, as was nice to get some fresh air.

I have lotion form of the Beach Defense, which is ok from what I read.
Need to check the bottles at the lake house too.

Made the dogs some turkey, which should last through the weekend. Adding fresh green beans and pumpkin puree for tonight. Little dog loves pumpkin, one of his favorites!

Good day for walking the dogs. Big one doesn't do well with too hot, and today is cloudy and comfortable. Didn't opt for the wooded trail today. It's likely quite wet from the rain/storms from yesterday. Sticking to the open and dry patches.

Dryer just beeped, time to fold some laundry!!
